I hereby announce to all Cruz supporters that I will not make fun of you and will help you be welcomed back if you admit Cruz fooled you.

Anyone else with me?

To the contrary. It shows me Cruz is smart in not turning down potential voters. I want a candidate that tries to get the most votes possible, otherwise it’s impossible to win. Good luck getting Trump to win a general election with 50% of republican voters.

It has to be getting hard for even the most devout Cruzers to continue to make excuses for his love affair with the GOPe.

How much do you want to bet Trump's VP (if he gets that far) is more GOPe than Rubio?

You might want to look up some good crow recipes, just in case.

I’m willing to bet that whoever Trump’s VP pick is, regardless of how GOPe they are, Cruz supporters will wail that they’re “too establishment”, because they will suddenly give a damn again all of a sudden.

There are some named sources in the article.

Here are the UNNAMED sources in the article.

I don't see any other sources.

They are all unnamed.

And they are from Politico.

Well at least there aren’t any Trump supporters trashing good solid Conservatives, like Lying Levin is doing ...

Levin didn't write the list. He published the author's list. Doesn't mean that Levin agrees with all of what the author says.

And Trump supporters trash the good solid conservative Levin all the time.

Good luck getting Cruz to win a general election with 21% of GOP voters. Cruz can’t seal the anti-Trump deal by himself. It could be any more obvious. What a lousy candidate he is.

What Cruz shares in common with Hillary is that the more you get to know about either of them, the less you like them.

Apparently he does support it ..he allowed it on his trashy site ...
Levin deserves to be trashed for all of the lies that he incessantly spews daily on his radio show ... Levin is a big phony

Odd to have a ticket with two young Cubans, both first term senators with relatively little experience, perhaps neither a nbc, with Rubio part of Gang of 8 and unable to carry his own state.

Someone must be working hard to convince Rubio and Kasich that they can win a brokered convention.

Sounds rather like some shadow is scheming to steal it from both.

How come Rasputin, I mean Glenn Beck, hasn’t had a vision from God telling him who Cruz’s running mate should be...you know, the one who would get Ted that magic delegate count?

wonder how many Cruz supporters would go for this?

All of them.

So what if Cruz's road to power requires getting in bed with Amnesty Boy?

They'll support whatever it takes. Whatever you can.

The Bush finance team? Check. Embrace of the slimiest GOPe like Lindsey Grahmesty and Mitt Romney? Check.

Principled, consistent conservatives, y'know.

This Cruz supporter doesn't go for Politico unnamed sources.

I remember the days when I was just a "lurker" that FR members laughed at the propaganda pushed by Politico.

My....how times have changed.
